Parts only or with labour? Insurance
Just thought I would ask the group collective which they have chosen and if possible why?
Car is a Haynes Roadster so no factory to send it to fix, so should I save £60 and have parts only.
If the car was in an accident and the chassis damaged would that stop me buying a ready made chassis or other parts as they are now becoming
available?

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

I went with parts and labour, as it was only an extra £35. that way I have the option to repair it myself, or send it somewhere for repairs to be
made....

In my experience a badly bent chassis on a kit car will mean it's a right off due to lack off suitable chassis jigs at normal body shops pushing
the repair estimate over the value of the car

Hmm, good point.
Does that mean a parts only policy is a get out for a total write off I wonder?

Thanks for the replies guys, it has given me more to think about especially do I have the time to fix it again if it is damaged bit.
